Approved childcare can also include care from an independent school registered with the Department for Education, or home careworkers working with a registered home care agency.

If you have other specific problems that you require help with you can also receive assistance from the European Social Fund in addition to help from Jobcentre Plus.

Families who need extra help can apply for assistance from the European Social Fund. Your circumstances may allow you to apply if you have several problems that have prevented you from finding work. These include nobody working in the family or a history of family unemployment, drug and alcohol problems, parenting or financial management skills, antisocial behaviour, and other health conditions.

If you need extra help with drug and alcohol problems, there are also specialist services available in your area. Your Jobcentre Plus work coach can help you to get in touch with professionals who can help you. This help is available to anyone receiving benefits.
